WE have recently returned from holiday, having flown half way across the world.

In Las Vegas we went to watch the clowns and trapeze artists at the circus inside our hotel.

When we returned to our room, I switched on the television and there on the screen was Blackburn Boulevard and, then, Darwen.

Yes, there on the 'Strip' in Las Vegas, the entertainment city of the world, was Hetty Wainthropp. Small world, isn't it?
